What are synonyms for nirvikalpa? (as in nirvikalpa samadhi?)
Particularly, integral philosopher Ken Wilber speaks of a synonym for
nirvikalpa which my transcribers mis-heard as nirode. Can you find
anything like that?

It's nirodh, sometimes written as nirodha. 

It can mean suppression or control, and in the context of meditation
its meaning is often given as cessation.

Here's an extract from an interview with Ken Wilber: 

"This is a discrete, identifiable state of awareness--namely,
unmanifest absorption or cessation, variously known as nirvikalpa
samadhi, jnana samadhi, ayin, vergezzen, nirodh, classical nirvana."

"NIRODH:
Total cessation of consciousness. "

"Beyond the nirvana is the nirodh (cessation), which consists of the
absolute cessation of consciousness and the quiescence of bodily
processes."

This glossary of Sanskrit terms defines nirodh and nirodha as "control":

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you would like me to
clarify something.
